Executing a Test Switch
For new system installations, we recommend executing a test switch to verify the system is working
correctly before attaching all inputs and outputs. You must first disconnect the factory default switch of
Input 1 routed to all outputs on Virtual Matrix 1 (Level 1).
You can disconnect the factory default switch and execute a test switch from one (or more) of the
following:
NetLinx Central Control Processor (Master)
XBar Controller (NetLinx WebConsole via TCP/IP)
Control Panel
BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands over an external controller
An external third-party controller (see product directions)
Before executing the test switch:
 Disconnect the factory default switch and make sure the first two source devices and the first
two destination devices are connected to the input and output connectors (for specific board
connector information and specifications, see the board chapter in this manual).
 Any applicable DGX DXLink Modules / Wallplates or DGX Fiber Modules must also be
installed (see the product’s documentation).
 Power must be applied to the enclosure and then to the source and destination devices.
When executing a test switch, we suggest routing Input (source) 1 to Output (destination) 2 on the
default virtual matrix of VM 0, unless you know the system was ordered with custom VMs.
After the test switch has executed successfully:
 If necessary, adjust the image with DGX Configuration Software, which is available at
www.amx.com. This software is used for configuring HDMI and DVI Boards (see page 157).
 Disconnect the test switch before finishing the installation.
HDMI and DVI Boards – Additional Information
Before executing a test switch with HDMI and DVI Boards, we recommend reading the applicable board
chapter which covers HDCP issues and any EDID changes that may be needed (see the “Enova DGX
HDMI Boards” chapter on page 63 and the “Enova DGX DVI Boards” chapter on page 73).
NetLinx Central Control Processor (Master)
For disconnecting and executing switches using the NetLinx Central Control Processor, see the chapter
on NetLinx Programming on page 151.
XBar Controller (NetLinx WebConsole via TCP/IP)
For directions on disconnecting and executing switches using the XBar Controller, see page 144.
Control Panel
For directions on disconnecting and executing switches using the front Control Panel, see page 115.
